Max Verstappen dodges ‘unfair’ question about whether he'd prefer Sergio Perez or Daniel Ricciardo as F1 2024 teammate

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez currently holds that position and also has a contract for 2024, but his underwhelming and inconsistent performances this year ha꧙ve sparked speculation that he could be replaced, despite Red Bull insi𓆉sting otherwise.
A nightmare retirement at his home race last time out at the Mexico City Grand Prix, coupled with a stunning display by AlphaTauri’s returning 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo, has not helped Perez dispel the rumours.
Ricciardo is viewed as the frontrunner to replace Perez next year if Red Bull made a late U-tuܫrn and opted against retaining the Mexican.&nbsꦡp;
Verstappen was asked who he would rather have as his teammate next year ahead of this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, but attempted to skir🍎t around it.
“I always had a great relationship with Daniel when we were teammates, but at the same time I have a great relationship with Checo,” the triple wo💫rld champion said.

“I find it a bit unfair to now sit here and say who I would prefer as a teammate 💝or whatever. They have great teammates and it’s not up to me at the end of the day to make these kinds of decisions because I am very focused on my own performance.
“If it’s Checo next year then great, I have a great working relationship with him🌜 but also personally I think he’s a great guy. If it’s Daniel then also we will get along fine and we will have a great time.
“F1 can be a tough sport. You’re asking t🐼hese kinds of questions… Ma🔯ybe also nothing happens right? We will see.”
Speaking in t🅰he same press conference, Ricciardo denied talking to Red Bull about taking Pe🦄rez's seat for 2024.
“I haven’t [had talks with Red Bull],♍" the Australian said. "All the stuff around my contract next year has been related to AlphaTauri. I’d say that’s honestly as far as that goes.”
